Investigation of the activities of sensor types in solar tracking system

The development of technology, the demand for energy is increasing day by day. Limited fossil fuels encourage seeking alternative energy sources. The use of renewable energy sources has an important place to meet increased energy demand. Solar energy technologies are frequently used today. Solar tracking systems are on the agenda in achieving power with high efficiency from solar energy. In this study, the performances of three different sensors on the panels placed in the same feature in three solar tracking systems designed with biaxials were compared. The voltage and current values of the system were measured in fixed and mobile positions at regular intervals. According to the data obtained, when the total productions of solar panels in fixed and mobile mode are compared; There was an increase of 36.68% in the LilyPad Light Sensor system, 38.42% in the SMD Sensor system, and 43.58% in the LDR system.
